    workshop floor advice

    Hello folks. Any opinions about using white pine for a shop floor? I can get 800 SF of ship-lapped random-wide white pine (12 to 6 "widths) for $1000. The price for Yellow Pine for the same amount (but not as wide) would be $5,400. I split my time between VA and coastal Maine (and I work in...

    Floor Clock: Finished!

    I am very pleased to report that my latest project, a Grandmother Clock, is finished in time for Christmas. The project turned out to be a lot of fun to build. There was more milling work and miters than most of my recent work, but it was fun. That said, I do not recall too many "Norm Moments"...

    Floor Clock Plans?

    My wife has asked me to build a floor clock (grandfather/mother) for my next project. That said, it is proving to be a challenge to find a plan that is not too ornate (too many spindles or spires) or to austere (too boxy). If I am reading her correctly, we are looking for something that is more...

I talked with one flooring company and they said that either way, the particle board over the sub floor will have to be removed because they...

    Refinishing a dance floor with Waterlox...any suggestions?

    I'm going to sand and refinish a portable oak dance floor that my family uses for clogging. The Waterlox sealant was top choice because you don't need to re-strip the entire floor to add a coat when it gets worn thin, just clean it and add another coat. Is there anyone who has done this...

    Rubber membrane under wood floor

    Anyone ever use a commercial rubber membrane underneath a wood shop floor? This is generally used under gravel flat roofs on commercial buildings but seems like a good shock absorber if stiff enough for shop flooring? Saw some contractor leftovers being sold so the price is better than new.

    Floor refinishing advice?

    Our screened-in porch floor is made of 3" tongue and groove yellow pine. It is chemically treated, but I can't remember what it is called (commonly known as "porch flooring"). I do know that it will not accept a water based finish. Anyway, it is about 12 years old and needs refinishing. I...
